Hp netbook windows 7 starter download

Select Windows 7 Starter and proceed with the installation as normal. I suggest that you create a backup once the installation is complete. Once setup is completed, you should have Windows 7 Starter installed. You can enter the product key and activate using the following method:. Activate Windows 7 manually: 1. Click Start, and in the Search box type : slui.

Select your Country. The Asus doesn't provide me any DVD with netbook. Microsoft does not have a link to download the image. If your Eee PC came with any verison of Windows installed the vendor ASUS is required by their contract with Microsoft to provide you with some means of recovery to the original state - That may be either a recovery partition on the hard drive or a recovery dvd.

What will occur If I click on recover? It ask me for an backup file or just restore the Asus backup which is on hidden drive? Your questions really should be addressed to ASUS since they customize their installtions the way they want. All this information should be in your owners manual and you should ask ASUS to ensure the information I posted is correct.

These procedures vary by vendor and there simply is not a generic answer that covers all vendors. I everyone. If the recovery is in a hidden partition but the hard drive fails , how can i reinstall my windows 7 starter after changing the hard disk drive? What can I do? Check your documentation or call Asus.

There should be instructions on how to burn a recovery DVD from the recovery partition, and everyone should do that as their first step when they get a new computer without a DVD. It's hard to imagine being without a DVD drive these days. You Sir are an absolute genius. My son has got a netbook which has no dvd drive so no amount of disk would save my posterior.

But the crux is, if you replace the hard drive, a reinstall will not work - according to MS - because the restore data is now looking at a different computer due to hardware changes - for example, when replacing a rpm HD with a SSD. I took my netbook to a local tech shop along with the the SSD drive. They were afraid to replace the drive themselves so I did it after watching a YouTube video.

But the restore DVD's won't work. MS tech says I need to get a Win 7 Starter Install Disc and run it with my product code from the netbook - a fresh install. I tried to restore my PC with this method, but apparently the recovery partition missed files. What other alternatives I had? If Microsoft doesn't have the files ready to download, my support agent is nowhere to be found and my recovery partition is oh-so-dead? Once Windows 7 came on the scene, Windows 7 Starter Edition had been made available for use primarily on these systems.

In order to perform an installation to your netbook from Windows XP you will need to do a custom clean install and then re-install your applications. Because Windows 7 Starter Edition is the lowest level operating system for the Windows 7 family there is no upgrade path from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Starter Edition so there would be no starting point to go from Windows XP Home or Professional to Windows 7 Starter Edition even if it was supported.

The bottom line is that any installation of Windows 7 Starter Edition is effectively a custom clean install. If you have a question create a new topic by clicking here and select the appropriate board.
